Summary: Rachel has a secret and Quinn has figured it out - but will Quinn use this knowledge to exact revenge on Rachel for telling Finn that Puck was really the father or will she use her own experiences to help. WARNING - language and sexual content in the form of rape, also at some point possible reference to self-harm.

Pairing: Rachel/Quinn

Notes: Ok so this chapter is stupidly SHORT! But the idea just wouldn't leave me alone. So yeah to steal a line from Buffy's Once More, With Feeling… "I think this line's mostly filler" is what I think about this chapter, but I hope you enjoy it regardless.

Her dads had finally agreed to returning back to work as normal. Leroy had been working from home for a few weeks now and as a result was falling behind, he dread to think about the mountain of paper work that was probably stacked on his desk for him to look at when he finally went into the office.

They had seen the improvements in their daughter, they were only subtle changes but they still noticed them. Rachel no longer exited the room the moment one of them entered, she was beginning to eat more and more instead of pushing her food around her plate until she would excuse herself from the table. Granted the eating was probably more due to the small being growing inside her and not down to her but it was an improvement that both Hiram and Leroy welcomed and were thankful for. She no longer woke up in the middle of the night screaming, they knew that she still woke up but were thankful that whatever it was that woke her no longer caused her to scream. They didn't know that she was forcing herself not to scream, they didn't know that she would lie in bed crying silently. Another change they had noticed were her showers. She didn't seem to be showering so frequently, but the showers she did take were a lot longer. They didn't know how they could convince her that she wasn't dirty, that none of this was her fault. They prayed that after she'd had the baby that she would to feel his presence on her a lot less.

There were so many things for them to worry about when it came to their baby girl, they had always worried about her and had done everything they could for her and had usually gotten it right. But there was no handbook, no one to tell them how to make this better.

They had considered calling Shelby. Rachel had told them about her reconnection with her mother, and everything that had happened. In the end they decided that it was probably better not to bring Shelby into this. She had told Rachel they couldn't have the mother and daughter relationship that Rachel wanted and that they should probably stay out of each others lives. No, calling Shelby would only lead to more confusion for Rachel and that was something she really didn't need.

Despite her improvements their worries were growing. Summer break was approaching and they didn't know how Rachel would cope away from having the daily distraction of school. They had spoken with her briefly about her usual summer activities; the performing arts camp she had gone to last summer, the volunteering she had done at the local theatre, they had asked her about all of the things she had done previously and whether she would want to do them this summer. A part of them was relieved when she had told them that she didn't want to do any of those things this year, that she wanted to say home, the other part of them worried because she had never turned down any of these opportunities before. They were worried that she would become withdrawn from the world once summer arrived and she no longer had Glee practice to work out some of her frustrations.

She really wasn't the person she used to be. She never would be that person again.

Attention: Ok so I'm REALLY sorry for the way this chapter turned out, but it's over with now so hopefully things will start to get better again LOL I've had a LOT of people say they want to see Shelby in this and originally I really didn't want her in this and then it was a case of she just didn't fit. HOWEVER, with the possibility of covering regional's I'm wondering if maybe I should bring her in. Seeing as how I had Quinn keep Beth, I'm wondering if I should have it so that Shelby never quit Vocal Adrenaline.

So I put it to the audience…

Shelby – yay or nay?

I look forward to reading what you all think and again I say sorry for this chapter.
